I do apologize, I should not have used the word cured, wrong terminology...the fungicides stop the spread of the fungus and/or prevent it. It will not cure your damaged roots. Follow the instructions that came with your fungicide. Usually they recommend one application every two to four weeks. Once you feel the fungus is contained (usually about 4 weeks to be safe) you can begin fertilizing again. Any plant material that is unaffected by the fungus can be fertilized normally.

Be sure to water your plant material the day before the application. This will drastically reduce the damage to your plants. In addition, a little strong can cause a lot of harm...fungicide can hurt your plants worse than the fungus.

how long do you think it will take before its cured? do you think i should apply a 2nd app.?i will give the fertigator one thing the plants look alot better .i sprayed last weekend i don't have anything to spray with so i had to use my back pack sprayer and the stuff i got z will treat 50gal.so i had to put in 1.50oz per 4 gal so it was alittle strong but i had to fill my damn sprayer 12 times man what a pain.i have been looking at a z-spray to spray the yard and fertilizer also but if you say wait on the fertigator i will ..
